I've had no such problem with the Toupe. I'm keeping my eyes open to find any sales on them, because if I do, I'll buy several.
One other comment.... I don't know how these would be on a very upright ride. I've only used them on a bike with drop bars. I suspect that if one put too much weight on just the seat, it might not be quite as comfortable.... but this is just speculation on my part.
Well, my ride is fairly upright, and I love my Alias, but of course YMMV. Then too, I don't ride really long distances hardly ever.
